Reaping and Sowing: Faith Working

Works of the Spirit or Works of Flesh, either way We Must Work… yet we Rest in the Works of the Son.

Faith without works is dead…  Faith with Works is alive and producing Eternal Life.

Body without the Spirit is dead…  If one has not the Spirit of Son, then they are dead, and the Spirit of Eternal Life is not in them.

Flesh with works is dead… produces corruption.

So anyway you look at it, we must work.  BUT HOW we work and by WHAT we work …MATTERS.

Galatians 6:10 shows us that if we sow to the flesh (Gal 5:16-21) we reap or produce the flesh which is corruption.  But if sow to the Spirit, we will of the Spirit reap or produce of the Spirit which is Eternal Life… Fruit of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance
Gal 5:22-23. 

So how to SOW to the Spirit is By Faith Working.  Works of the Spirit ARE Works of Faith.

If our Works are of the Spirit, then we Reap Eternal Life. 

If our Works are of the Flesh, then we Reap Corruption.

If we by the Spirit sow into the Spirit, we will reap of that Spirit the Fruit of the Spirit.

If we by the Flesh sow into the Flesh, we will reap of that Flesh the Fruit of the flesh.

So what are you Producing?   What is your life giving back to you?  This answer will reveal to you what you are sowing.

If you are sowing RIGHTEOUSNESS through FAITH by GRACE into the hearts of others and yourself, then you Will produce PEACE and the Life of Jesus Christ with all His benefits of that life. Galatians 5:22-23

Likewise, yet in the opposite, if you are sowing carnal thinking, and behavior to others and yourself, then you Will produce corruption, destruction, decay, and the benefits of corruption. Galatians 5:16-21

Read Galatians 5:16-26 for the effects of the fruit of the Spirit, and the flesh.  So which do you see being produced in your life?  You have a choice.  You have the controls to change direction.  Sow into your garden (life) the SEED of Eternal Life which is Jesus Christ.  Feed yourself daily of His Spirit, so you may have Seed to Sow to others, and let the cycle of harvest produce His Life in and through you daily.  That is what is meant of “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.  If you live, or could say, abide in the Spirit by Faith, then walk in, or could say produce of the Spirit.

Galatians 6:6-10  *v8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
v10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

So, even though we can REST in Jesus Christ, Yet, We still Work, but by FAITH WORKING, and thus, WALKING in GRACE … seeing that He has obtained salvation Through Works of His own Spirit, having overcome His flesh for all flesh…
… for in THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus Christ we are sanctified, justified, and liberated daily, knowing that because He has obtained salvation and victory and liberty from that sinful flesh nature FOR US, that WE TOO can WALK in HIS WORK that has been accomplished, and BY FAITH we can Walk in the Spirit of Life, and by the Spirit of Life produce His Fruit and the Character of the Resurrected One – Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Walking Now, in the Divine Nature of the Perfect One, who is liberated from all sin and death of the flesh, soul, and spirit….  Now that’s a mouth full to say… but it is right and fruitful.

Sooooo  SOW to the Spirit …. Walk in Faith of the Works of the Son, and Then your Faith will be alive, and not dead… because your Faith will be working, and it will be accounted unto you for righteousness also… for Believing all that the Father has done. 

John 6:28-29 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them,

This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Thank You Father!

Amen.

Power of God

1 Corinthians 4:19-20 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.  For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Kingdom of God is in power, not in the wisdom and speech of man.  Not in the appearance of “who” is speaking, but rather if God is speaking through that one.  If God is, then the anointing and love of God will be evident.  People will be set free.   If this is not happening, without gimmicks, then it is just the hot air of the empty man.

Romans 1:16-19  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is POWER of God towards us and for us, in attaining Liberty and Victory over all evil, harm, wickedness, and all unrighteousness of that carnal mind of man.  THAT POWER frees us from all the works of satan and satan himself.  That devil sinned from the beginning and Jesus Christ has destroyed the devil (satan) and the works of the devil (sin) (Hebrews 2:14, 1 John 3:8-10, Rev 20:10).

This wonderful Power of God: Jesus Christ…. is God’s OATH…. The Father’s Word and Breath towards us… is being breathed (spoken) in our ears and hearts with understanding, to liberate us from the filth of the fleshly mind of the first Adam.   So as God ministers preach to us of HIS TESTIMONY of HIS SON, and WE RECEIVE HIM – that Testimony of Jesus Christ… Then we are receiving the WASHING of the WATER by His Word – Testimony – His Son Jesus Christ revealed to us and we receive that Word that is Spirit and LIFE in our hearts and souls.   THIS engrafted Word RELEASES US from sickness, decay, death, sin, and all unrighteousness!  And delivers our Soul unto the Father in the King’s domain, even as we are still alive and remain in the earth – the visible realm.

To God is all Glory for all that He has Done! Praise the Lord!

So by the simplicity of Preaching … the spoken word of the Holy Spirit, as He reveals the Son by the gospel of Jesus Christ…. we are changed into the Son… yet He is always the Head and Leader and King and Priest and All Authority we are yielded to always…. without Him we can be no kind of minister… But with Him we can do all things that He wills to be done.  Co-Heirs.  Amen.

1 Corinthians 1:17-18 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:19-24  For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.  Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.  For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:  But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;  But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Amen.

The Lord is that Spirit

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

There is one Spirit, one Lord, one Father.....  Ephesians 4:4-7

Romans 8:9-11 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Romans 8:14-15  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16-17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God; And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together....

The Spirit is the Intercessor -- Christ is our Intercessor
Romans 8:26-27, 34
26-27Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

So the Lord is that Spirit....  and He dwells In You and Me... and our spirit cries out Abba Father... for it is the same Spirit in us that was in Jesus... the same Spirit that raised Him from the grave, and is quickening us daily out of death and into Eternal Life. 

Amen.

Taking the Next Step…

Understanding…
When you Understand what God is doing, then Faith can go forward in assurance that you are on the right path and not being mislead.

But what about when God doesn’t show you or let you know what is up, but just shows enough for the next step… 

Then FAITH walks in TRUST of God’s thoughts toward you …  HOPE and LOVE…
KNOWING that God Loves you and desires His GOOD WILL and JOY and GLORY to be yours too… and sooooo much more of the Life of His Son Jesus Christ does He desire for you to share today in this age, and all ages to come.

FAITH, HOPE, TRUST, LOVE…. WALKING in the Security of God’s Heart towards us.  His Will (GRACE) for us is to prosper in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and LIFE.

God, our Father, wills us out of sin and death, decay and misery, sickness and dis-ease, and all forms of unrighteousness… and into His Abundant Life of Love, Liberty, Justice, Purity, Wholeness, Completeness, Contentment, Joy, Success, Wealth….. Abundance, Abundance, Abundance In and Of and By His Eternal Life (Spirit) that is working in our inner man. (Ephesians 3:16-17)

Through the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, we enter into Eternal Life… Grace abounding instead of sin and Life abundance instead of death and separation from God. 

As God is Receiving us, and every son that is in Christ Jesus, He corrects along the path, as we enter into His Kingdom. Yet HIS Correction is to bring forth more of His Life, and not to destroy our souls.  He desires HIS VERY BEST FOR US.  !!!  And that is what He Gave Us in Christ Jesus.

God has given His very best for us, so even though we don’t have to give back to receive His blessing, why don’t we do that anyway… out of love.  

Besides, He has bought us with His Son’s blood, so He Owns Us.  So submitting to Him in Love will nurture that relationship with our Hero and Savior and allow Him to interact with us, for the benefits of others.  

Yes, we are His Vessel to work through, but more than that.  Why not allow His Will to be done in us, which is John 3:3-5 … Being Born Again of His Water and Spirit, so that we are Family for Him to commune in Love with.   Not the kind of dysfunctional family in earth that most of us have, but the one that is made out of the Son Jesus Christ.  

Jesus even says that His true family is the ones that do His Father’s Will.  Look at this verse …

Matthew 12:48-50 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

That’s intense!  He wasn’t rejecting His earthen family, but He was making a point, and it is a lesson to learn.  So, just love God with all your heart, soul, and body, submitting to Him and letting His fruit come forth in our lives to each other.  Galatians 5 is worth reading here:

Galatians 5: all  *22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another….

If a family member is misbehaving, you don’t have to stay around them or deal with them, but you do need to love and pray for them.  

Let them go, and let the Father intervene in that situation so they can have His Righteousness affect them and bring forth a change.  

Meanwhile, you don’t have to interact with them, and get hurt, and bruised, etc… 

Go enjoy your life in the Lord, and be strong in His Love… then you will be better strengthened to handle them that are still in their unregenerate state.  Some you can’t be around at all, but the Lord will instruct you along the way. Meanwhile, go forward and let the Lord have His way through you.

Seek the Kingdom of God, let His Life be revealed to you as you commune with the Holy Spirit.  Enjoy your time and life in Him.

Allow the Lord to take you to the next step of His Glory, so that more of His Life will swallow up your mortality, and the “birthing” of more of His Abundant Life can come forth in and through each one of us…. unto thanksgiving to God from us all.

Taking the Next Step….  Hang on to His Love for you, and know that there is His reason for you being here, and even though you may not understand it….  He will work it to completion.  Meanwhile, nourish your relationship with Him.  Spend time with Him alone….  Allow Him to make a Difference in Your life.

Amen.

Forgiveness Is Come…

“Forgiveness is come… yet in order to receive it and reap of it, there is need of a repentive mind that conditions the heart so you can receive and reap of all the benefits of forgiveness.”

So true.  Jesus Christ has provided ALL forgiveness and release of debt, yet why are there so many still in bondage, sickness, and messed up lives without peace?

Because there must first be a Preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and a Repentive Mind or Heart in order to RECEIVE of Jesus Christ and all His Benefits.

This is a message that really could go on and on and on cause the Good News of Jesus Christ is just that wonderful.  But for now this will just be the shorter version….

If you find that you have been in a situation, dis-ease, or messed up life, a life of plenty but a feeling of void within, or just going in circles … or worse… then TALK TO THE LORD.  Ask Him about His Son Jesus Christ, and seek the Lord with all your heart, and know that the one true God has provided for all of mankind the Perfect Solution and Remedy for our lives: His Son Jesus Christ.

His son Jesus Christ came to forgive us of our sin and deliver us from death.

1 Corinthians 15:51-58 (Read all this later, when you can. It will bless your soul)
v55-57 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21
… be ye reconciled to God.  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

He has fulfilled the old covenant of God which was a working of the flesh and animal sacrifice in order to be sanctified and found righteous in God’s eyes.  Jesus Christ came in the flesh nature of sinful man, and as the spiritual nature in the fullness of God to fulfill all fleshly requirements of that first covenant and fulfill all Spiritual requirements of the new order. 

Now the new order is established on better promises, and better testimony, and surety by His own blood that was shed for sin, rather than animal blood. 

After the order of Melchisedec, God has ordained and established the second order through the blood covenant, so that the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is the only law we walk by.  It is a working by Faith of Christ Jesus, and in Faith of Christ Jesus.  Grace replaces sin, and through His Righteousness we obtain Eternal Life.

So, as you hear this message today, if you find within yourself a tugging at your heart to Receive the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin, then say a prayer and tell the Lord you know you are a sinner, and all though you don’t understand it all, you feel you need HIM to come into your heart for the forgiveness of all sin.  

Lord, I agree with them now, to let the journey begin of their new born again life in You.  Let there be healing from all that sin has done to them, and restore to them that perfect relationship with you by your Spirit that is holy, now to dwell in them forever. Protect them and set them in that perfect place of fellowship with other like minded members of the body of Christ that will love them, and the leadership will be of You their Shepherd, to nurture them and cause the birthing to come forth to full term.  To You Father be all Glory and Honor. Amen.

Amen.

To All The Souls that God Produces His Son Through

Be at peace and know God's plan… the trying of your Faith works much, but the end result is You in His Greater Glory.

GRACE is the Path and Provides the Time to Walk Properly….
GRACE does not mean we can stay in the misbehaving thinking.
GOD’s Correction does Work in Grace
Yet His Correction is to bring you in to Obedience and
More of His Life and Glory Flowing.
Not to destroy your Soul, but to Give It LIFE ETERNAL …. THE PATH.

Jesus Christ IS the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE
Way = Path and Provision
Truth = God’s Power to Sustain and Provide and Set Free
Life = Eternal Life our New Nature (Jesus Christ became the first of that New Divine Nature to walk on the earth after the resurrection, thus we too become without sin/death, and Walk in and as This New Divine Life and Nature Today, because we have been Brought Into and Redeemed/Reconciled IN Him and birthed forth ...born again!)

Let RIGHTEOUSNESS Bring you to this New Divine Existence in This Earth.

“Flesh” cannot inherit Eternal Life, but your natural nature CAN BE CHANGED as it is affected by the Risen Lord, and Exist without Sin and death…  It is said that our spirit and BODY belong to God, not just the soul.  That is why we CAN be Healed in all areas… the natural nature, our Body too.  When the Spirit of God takes possession of you, the old carnal spirit/mind is defeated and goes through a ‘cutting away of the flesh’ process.  You could say experience, because that old flesh mind puts up a fight, yet, Jesus Christ has already declared its defeat and departure from your Soul. And this is done through the the Word of God being breathed within you and cutting it away.   Also during this process, we are communing with God, and in that communion with The Lord, His Purpose for acquiring you is made known even more.  He wants to Birth His Son through You.  Not a natural birth, but a Spiritual/Soul birthing that literally AFFECTS and CHANGES you: spirit, soul and body.  Yet, He processes this a little at a time, so we are not overwhelmed in His appearing… Ephesians 3:19-20… that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto Him that is able…  Reconciliation and Redemption at its fullness.

We see this in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ… His flesh man walked in the earth and was without sin, no more death, and He did this as our example, being the FIRST FRUIT of the SPIRIT, as the SPIRIT (GOD) created a New Thing in the Earth!!!  Yes We Are Hearing You Lord… THANK YOU.  So continue the journey and allow God to Redeem the Whole Vessel: spirit, soul, and body.

WHY is this possible?  and HOW can this be possible?

Why – because Jesus took all sin out of the way, and condemned sin in His own flesh and natural nature for all mankind and creature… so we can receive the Risen Lord and UNDERSTAND What He did, and Be Free.

How – because Jesus was the first one to come forth Victorious from the grave, death, and sin… having Defeated it all, and Overcame its bondage… for us all.  He is the NEW MAN, SECOND MAN, LAST ADAM, The Lord from Heaven, Quickening Spirit … and He did so for Our EXAMPLE to follow Him IN HIS VICTORY and step out of our bondage(s).  To WALK without sin and with death destroyed… to show us that by and through HIS EFFORTS and WORKS we can have the DIVINE NATURE too…. and have it today, walking upon the earth as He did AFTER the Resurrection. 

In this REGENERATION of this new era of God, God came as Jesus Christ to “fix” and make anew what the first Adam could not do. He was the First of this NEW DIVINE Man of God… the SECOND MAN that is the LORD from HEAVEN, and is the QUICKENING SPIRIT dwelling IN the Last Adam.  Allow The Redeemer and Reconciler to AFFECT you, and Birth His Nature through your soul. 

Now, the only way this transformation can come forth In Us is through Him and by Him, the Lord which is the Holy Spirit working that redemptive plan in our own spirit, soul, mind and Body.  A little at a time…. processing us …. to be born again… renewed mind… transformed… after the image of the Son for it is THAT Seed being birthed, being raised up out of our soul/mind.

The Spirit of the Son, which is the Father, now in us to impregnate our soul with the TRUTH, God’s SEED, God’s Word which is the gospel of Jesus Christ, God’s Power.

Now, God’s WILL, WORD, SEED of salvation (the gospel of Jesus Christ which is the power of God Romans 1:16-17) is working in our souls, to produce His Divine Nature in and thru us:  born again experience.  THE Divine One in our souls is creating (speaking, writing, producing) HIS Nature/SEED which IS THE SON OF GOD – JESUS CHRIST. Redemption and Reconciliation Working. God’s family manifested in Heaven & Earth.

John 1:12-13 But as man as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God,…

James 1:18  Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

As 1 Corinthians 15 tells us that each seed brings forth after its kind.  And that this is like and is the resurrection, which is the on-going redemptive working of the reconciliation of God, which is working from one age to the next, producing and working in us THIS GRACE that is now our sufficiency unto the completion of the revealing of HIS FINISHED work in us: spirit, soul, and body.  The MIND of Christ ruling and reigning in us and through us as LORD to all the world: God’s Government and Kingdom Increasing.

Allow God’s working to swallow you up more today, and allow HIS MIND to produce In You His Son.

God/Jesus Christ comes and appears in your Soul to Plant His Seed which is Jesus Christ/God's Word in your Soul, to Produce His Son/Jesus Christ THROUGH your earthen vessel.  Yet appearing as He Is, for many to experience Him through us, as us, yet HIM we become, our identity changed when we married Him and gave birth of His Son…. we became One Flesh, One Body, which is the Lord from Heaven, the Quickening Spirit. 

Galatians 2:20-21
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.  I do not frustrate the grace of God:…

Amen.

Born of God - Can Not Sin

It is time to understand this scripture:
1 John 1:4-10 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

This scripture is Not telling us that we are stuck in sin, but rather is saying, that we all were in sin at one time, but when you receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour, He sets up house IN YOU. 

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 v17 THE LORD is THAT SPIRIT: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.  Now IN You, right?

THEN YOU REAP OF HIM, and ARE WITHOUT SIN ALSO…. How?  It is all about The New Law….Continue reading….

Have fellowship with TRUTH, not Wickedness or evil or lies.  Have fellowship with God’s LOVE, not man’s manipulation, deceptions, greed, envies, jealousies.  Even God gets jealous and uses jealousy for His purpose, but in this we see that THERE IS A DIFFERENCE between GOD’S MIND vs Man’s Carnal Thinking.

And the ONLY way to be free and changed, transformed, renewed is BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TRUTH in the BLOOD Covenant of JESUS CHRIST….  If you are WASHED and CLEANSED by THIS WORD, then YOU ARE CLEAN AND FREED INDEED! 

And if you are FREE by the SON OF GOD, then you will understand that YOU CAN NOT SIN ANYMORE. 

WHY?  Jesus Christ is the Lord, that Holy Spirit, which we have received of the Father.  HE then begins to plant or impregnate our Soul with the SEED (word that is Spirit and Life) which is the gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom – Salvation of God – Good Will of God to all.   Christ IN US, is now having relationship with our Soul to produce….. give birth to HIS MIND, CHARACTER, THINKING, DIVINE NATURE ….IN our Soul… Then to be manifested through us, because we will have BEEN CHANGED INTO THE SAME IMAGE.

This is REDEMPTION of GOD complete.  His Process of creating His family, children.  Being Born of God, by His word of Truth.

Now, going back to the beginning of today’s message…..
Our Saviour Jesus Christ, God gives us HIS Spirit… the Spirit of the Son (Galatians 4).  Jesus Christ is God’s Power and Wisdom and Righteousness dwelling within our Soul before God.  Jesus Christ OBTAINED SANCTIFICATION, JUSTIFICATION, VICTORY from sin for us.  We were not able to obtain PEACE with God by our own fleshly efforts, right? Right.  So we needed a Saviour that could fulfill all fleshly efforts under the Law of Sin and Death, so to complete that for us.  He did that.  He became our Priest, King, and Lamb to fulfill all requirements of the old law of sin and death, the works of flesh toward God.

Then God through the man Jesus Christ ESTABLISHED a BETTER Covenant and Better Promises, and a Better and New Law, by which we are now Freed from the old law, if so we have received the Risen Lord.  The Risen Lord has Established the new Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1-2)  This law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death, because what the law of sin and death could not do according to the flesh, Jesus Christ has accomplished … and accomplished it for us.  Now we that have received Jesus Christ, are married to Him… Joined unto Him by that Blood Covenant.  Not of our effort, right? Right.  All because of what HE HAS DONE, we now are freed.

Jesus overcame death and sin.  Sin no longer dwells in Christ Jesus the flesh man that walked on the earth after the resurrection.  He had to do that…. in and as the second Man, Last Adam… so that WE in the natural can Also BE FREE FROM SIN AND DEATH, in our mind, spirit, soul, AND BODY.

Catch a hold…. Grasp this TRUTH!!  Because we REAP where we did not sow…. We REAP of the benefits of Jesus Christ the Resurrection.  HE OVERCAME SIN AND REMOVED IT…. REMOVED IT OUT OF THE WAY.

So, if there is no more sin working or abiding in the flesh man Jesus Christ, then THOSE THAT PARTAKE OF HIS BODY AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD are ALSO WITHOUT SIN. 

A NEW LAW IS WORKING WITHIN THE LAND!   GRACE ABOUNDS… WHERE SIN ONCE WAS (Romans 5:20-21)  Where DEATH WAS… ETERNAL LIFE IS EVIDENT, through the presence of RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Is HE COME IN YOU?  If RIGHTEOUSNESS IS COME IN YOUR SPIRIT, THEN SIN CAN NO LONGER WORK IN YOU…. NOR DEATH. 

Let your Faith Receive Him today, and UNDERSTAND what our Lord and Saviour have truly done for us.

REAP where you have not Sowed.  Eat of Him daily and ENTER in to the Kingdom of God, Eternal Life.

James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
NOTE: This is talking of asking and receiving.  So do not walk in the mindset of the old law of Sin, and the new law of Grace.

Romans 7:23-25 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

NOTE:  As you are being washed in His Truth/Word/Spirit, it is as a two-edged sword is used to cut away that body of sin that is that carnal mind. (Hebrews 4:12) Eat of Him Daily.  Be renewed.  Allow Him to birth HIS MIND in you.  It IS a working. (….work out your own salvation through fear and trembling…Philippians 2:12)

Romans 6:6-14 v6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 8:1-4 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world… It is done for all, and to all that receive Him HE BENEFITS THEM UNTO LIFE AND LIBERTY.

So, to those that are in Christ Jesus, you no longer can sin, but you can mess up and still be corrected of God.  If it is not of FAITH, then it is of Sin.  Aren’t you walking in Faith of His Presence in you?  Isn’t it Grace we run to in all situations, looking for that mercy?  BUT be willing to ALLOW the Holy Spirit to WASH YOU, and RENEW YOU.  GRACE Abounds, and so does His CORRECTION.  But Sin no longer can separate us from God or “sting” us.  HIS FAITH overcame, and HIS Love Never Fails. 

1 John 3:8-9 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

It is all for the working of REDEMPTION and RECONCILIATION… Receiving Us unto our Father and God.  The King and Kingdom has already been birthed forth by Jesus Christ a long time ago…. It is Come….. Hebrews 12:22-29…  From age to age Redemption is working.

Now every man presses INTO the kingdom… Luke 16:16  The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.  But all have to go through The Door – Jesus Christ.  The Way and Truth and Life.

Sure you can stand outside Him if you want.  But you need to know that you are judged according to your works, and by His Word.  So you are judged of sin still, which results in death eternal, because you have not received your liberation from sin, which is being preached to you… Hey, it is God’s FREE Gift of Liberty and a more abundant LIFE.  Jesus Christ. Can you hear His Love yet?  He paid the price of sin and made it EASY for you to come to the Father… just as you are.   Don’t let the carnal mind CHEAT you out of the BEST GIFT Ever.  Just start talking to the Father and ASK HIM to REVEAL His Son to you more. 

Are You Hearing His Liberty Ringing In your spirit and soul!?  Awaken and Rejoice for our Liberty is Come… and is Received here.

Allow the Righteousness of God to appear… be awakened unto Righteousness…. Continue to walk in HOPE by Grace through Faith of this very thing. And, if it has not awakened or been made evident to you yet, then continue to Listen for His Voice in Revealing the Righteous One that is the Righteousness of God for us.

IN HIM YOU CAN NOT SIN… HE IS STANDING WITHIN YOUR SOUL, UPHOLDING YOU IN JUSTIFICATION BEFORE ALL THAT WISH TO CONDEMN.  GRACE IS SUSTAINING.

In This New Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus DIFFERENT RULES apply.  The Same God, the same Lord, but the rules and administration has changed!  It is of better promises, and produces a greater Glory.   Oh so Exciting.  Come on In!   

Amen.

A Perfect Heart

When You know that your sin(s) are forgiven,
And you Forgive the sin(s) of others,
Then…. I Will.

We don’t have to “do” something to receive the blessings of the Lord and healing and forgiveness…etc… 
He did it… Provision is Done… Faith Receives… and We are One with Jesus Christ in the Inheritance of Life, Co-Heirs with Him.  So there is No lack in provision, whether the need is in the natural, physical or spiritual.

So, why then is it that sometimes the healing, or provision doesn’t come?
Answer:  There is a block in your own soul and mind, preventing His Blessing & Benefit from coming.

Ask the Lord to reveal to you what it is in your own soul that is hindering or getting in the way of HIS LIFE FLOWING THROUGH YOU.

HE has done everything necessary for All Provision.  HE desires You to Share and Have All of Him and Kingdom.  So the problem or issue is usually in us; as the Reason for “not having” or “lacking.”

So how do we get rid of the hindrance?  First ask of the Lord what it is.  Second, BE WILLING to be OBEDIENT to Him.  Third Keep a Humble Mind & THANK the Lord always.

Most of the time it is as simple as FORGIVING others and a Willing Mind of God’s LOVE towards others. That means you desire God’s best for them.  Not for “evil mind” to prosper, but that God’s righteous mind/spirit will work in them.  Not holding a grudge or wishing them harm or pay back.  Let it go… giving it to the Lord to rectify in Righteousness.  Matter fact, let that be your prayer for them… “Father I wish Your Life and Righteousness to rule in their minds so they may know you, but protect me and keep all evil and harm away from me.”  See Jesus’ example of prayer below...

Luke 11:2-4 Jesus’ example of prayer:
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.  Give us day by day our daily bread.
**4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Remember, Jesus on the cross…  He prayed “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” But even after praying that, judgment still came on that generation for their unrepented wickedness.  Hear what the Lord is saying.  

Give to Him to “fix,” by asking the Lord to forgive them… that is the mind of Love working in you towards them.  And that makes way for God’s forgiveness (healing, provision, etc) to flow in your life.  Our Father will deal with all that are out to hurt us, but we need to get out of the way, so He can work.  Then they will come forth, in God’s Glorious working to produce His Righteousness in that situation. ! .  It’s so wonderful to see God’s working in our own lives and others!

Take a look here in Matthew 5:44-48
But I say unto you, Love your enemies , bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;  That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

And Matthew6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

So, as it says aboveBe ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect

Remove and let go of your hindrances of unforgiveness or hatred or self righteousness. That just keeps God’s love and healing and restoration from PROSPERING in your own soul (3 John verse2).   Let Your hurt be healed.  Walk in His Provision, and Abundant Life Today: Jesus Christ Is With You and Now In You, if it is so that you have received the Spirit of Son, which is the Father.  (Secret: Father was the one in Jesus doing all the work through Jesus, and raising Him from the dead).

Allow the Father to work that Perfect Heart in You

Be Blessed … exceeding abundantly.

Amen.
